As borders weakened during the Arab Spring, human trafficking networks expanded, resulting in an influx of undocumented migrants seeking refuge in Europe. By 2015-2016, Europe faced a migration crisis, necessitating greater cooperation with North African governments to manage and control the flow of people. This cooperation has yielded mixed results: while migrant flows decreased post-2017 thanks to renewed agreements, the potential for further crises remains if political tensions or economic hardships arise in North Africa.
